Carleton Presents "Carnival Night III"
Northfield, Minn. — Carleton College will present its third annual Carnival Night on
Friday, February 21, .at 7 p.m. in Severance Great Hall. This year's event is titled
"Carnival Reborn: Mind and Bawdy," a collection of "somewhat raunchy skits, poems,
and songs from early modern Europe." Carnival Night is sponsored by Carleton's
language departments. It is free and open to the public.
Dedicated to laughter, Carnival Night will include performances of several plays,
including "La Farce du cuvier" ("The Farce of the Tub"), a French medieval play by an
anonymous author; "Das Narrenschnieden" ("Ex[or]cising the Seven Deadly Sins"), a
16th-century German play by Hans Sachs; and "La Tierra de Jauja" ("The Land of Joy"),
a 16th-century Spanish play by Lope de Rueda. "To a Lady in a Letter," a 17th-century
English poem by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, will also be read.
There will also be selections from Roman poet Catullus, Russian songs,
Renaissance music and dances, as well as a fencing demonstration. All performances
will be in their original language; however, English summaries will be available. The
performers also will use body language to aid in interpretation. Attendees are welcome
to wear jester hats and costumes to Carnival Night, but they are optional.
